|
I'm back on dry land once again |
|
Opportunity awaits me like a rat in the drain |
|
We're all hunting honey with money to burn |
|
Just a short time to show you the tricks that we've learned |
|
If the boys all behave themselves here |
|
Well there's pretty young ladies and beer in the rear |
|
You won't need a gutter to sleep in tonight |
|
Oh the prices I charge here will see you alright |
|
So she lays down beside me again |
|
My sweet painted lady, the one with no name |
|
Many have used her and many still do |
|
There's a place in the world for a woman like you |
|
Oh sweet painted lady |
|
Seems it's always been the same |
|
Getting paid for being laid |
|
Guess that's the name of the game |
|
Forget us we'll have gone very soon |
|
Just forget we ever slept in your rooms |
|
And we'll leave the smell of the sea in your beds |
|
Where love's just a job and nothing is said |
